It started snowing so at 10pm, the girls challenged me to make a sledge by the morning. I accepted and so out of this a new DIY video is born. Watch to learn if I manage to do it in time. Step by step guide to show you the techniques for building a sledge out of the bits of wood you find lying around, easy guide for the DIYer, but takes quite a range of DIY tools. I cover all the steps I took to creating the sledge myself, over the course of one night in time for the snow in the morning. Then we took the sledge off for testing.
In this video, I discuss the following steps:

1 - Sledge Research - asking the clients

2 - More sledge research - online sled research

3 - Planning - the theory of sledge mechanics

4 - Building the sleigh from scrap bits of wood, lots of screws and a load of wood glue

5 - The steps to making a cup of tea

6 - Finishing touches to the sledge - rope, sanding down the sleigh etc
